It Costs How Much to Replace an Employee?-Salary

Retaining your good employees

Salary

The Right people in the Right Places 

Studies show that the median cost to replace a employee in the Us is ,000.00 (Average!!). Some Hr managers use the rule of thumb that anything the person's each year salary is - it will cost that much to replace them. One study evaluating the effects of the Us family healing Leave Act found that "turnover costs for a boss median 150% of salary, including real costs of hiring... And intangible costs such as the new worker's inefficiency and lost productivity while the job is vacant."

Costs of lost productivity are as important as direct costs such as advertising or temporary staff. Total costs indubitably reach 150% of the each year compensation. The cost will be significantly higher (200% to 250%) for managerial and sales positions.

Oh, and if you think you can just hire temporary workers and avoid all those costs, think again. The cost of hiring and getting production from a temporary employee is nearly 40% of their salary, and temporary workers tend to have higher hourly rates than permanent ones - and higher turnover rates as well.

Let's put this in real terms.   The bottom estimate I have seen in any place says it will cost you at least 30% of an employee's total each year recompense to replace them. Assume you have 100 employees and your median salary is .00 per hour. At .00 per hour + benefits (at 20% of wages), your employees receive ~.00 hour in wages and benefits. Let's say that you have to replace 15% of your employees every year. Taking the most conservative assessment for employee turnover costs that I have been able to find (30% of their each year wages and benefits); each employee you have to replace is costing you ,488.00. 

100 employees X 15% X 88 (including benefits) = 2,320 per year.

And that is using the most conservative cost percentage I can find. If we conclude to use the national median (,000 / supplanted employee) the cost goes to 5,000.00. By using the 'rule-of-thumb' (100% of their each year salary - ,800.00/ supplanted employee), the cost will go to 2,000.00... Staggering!

Why are the costs so high?

Why does it cost so much to replace a departing employee? Some costs, like paying off accrued vacation time or the cost of a help-wanted ad, are obvious.

Other costs include:

• Increased unemployment guarnatee costs
• Lost productivity while there is a vacancy
• Time costs for the separation (Exit) interview (If your good employees are leaving, you Need to know why)
• Separation bargain costs (legal, financial, medical, seclusion cash-out, etc.)
• Overtime from other employees to deal with the vacancy (which can lead to burn-out or absenteeism)
• Time costs to recite resumes
• Time costs to interview candidates
• Interview expenses for the candidates
• Possible travel expenses
• Possible relocation expenses
• Head-hunter or signing bonus fees
• Additional bookkeeping; payroll, 401k, etc.
• Additional narrative keeping for government agencies
• Reduced productivity while the new employee gets up to speed
• Training programs
• Corporate history lost
• Morale can be affected
• Intellectual property lost

There are also risks associated with loosing an employee.

• Threat of lawsuit
• Bad Pr from disgruntled employee
• Threat that the employee will take clients to a new firm

What can be done about it?

Job descriptions:

Put together a faultless job narrative with tasks and duties outlined in a clear and brief way so that when someone answers your want ad, they know what they are applying for. Minimize that catch-all phrase "Other duties as assigned". This way, the employee knows what is startling of the position and the boss knows what to value for doing reviews.

Pre & Post employment testing: 

Job match/satisfaction can be measured by using the testing and assessment systems that are ready through Rp2-Consulting. The cost of these assessment and testing programs is significantly less than the cost of turnover in the first example above. We can test a candidate before they even show up for an interview and tell you if they have the right attitude, will show up for work when startling and won't take all in the supply cabinet home with them. We can match new candidates to a given position. We have all heard of the 'Peter Principle' (an private rises to his level of incompetence). We can look at your existing employees and match their skills and personalities with open positions in the organization. We can also help you recognize the right people to put on teams. When teams are balanced (one person's strengths cover other person's weaknesses), results are significantly improved. Finally, managers (and Ceo's) need to know their strengths and weaknesses, as those who work with them realize them. Testing can show you what your true strengths and weaknesses are so that you can focus on enhancing those things that need to be improved.

Training:

Expecting someone to produce when they do not know how to produce, or what results are needed is absurd. Yet every day, people are hired to do jobs in which they have little or no formal training. Make sure that your employees get the training and advice they need to meet your expectations. This will lead to good employee job satisfaction and reduced supervision stress. As a requisite side benefit, well-trained employees are more likely to win appreciation for a job well done; and appreciation and recognition among your peers is a huge motivator. We can help you develop your training programs to meet your private needs.

Leadership:

The best plans and initiatives are all for naught if your leadership does not focus on what is working and where you want to go. Have you ever been backing out of your driveway focused on the trash-can you had to avoid hitting at all costs - it's right there in the mirror, just behind the vehicle, if you hit it your whole morning will be ruined - and like a laser, you run right into it...

We go where we focus. One key to your success is to focus on retaining your employees. Working to make them successful is far less high-priced than replacing them. Treating them with respect and honor while making them feel like they have a stake in the firm and its success will lead to your success. Focus on where you want to go not where you don't want to go. Looking at mistakes and Looking fault is focusing on the past and the errors made there. Learn from mistakes and move on. Plan the future your assosication wants. Focus on applauding success, both individually and for the team/company.
